I agree, I just wish Antenna TV wouldn't crunch the credits so I can watch them again. I've tried to watch them and just ignore that but I just...can't. I find myself getting so *** **** mad when it starts. It's a shame they do it, because they have a lot of shows I'd like to see.

Yes I hate that credit crunch too. I haven’t watched Antenna in years because of that although recently I have had to record a little of What’s Happening Now from Antenna because 7 season 3 episodes are missing from Crackle where I’ve watched the rest of it. What I’ve done is recorded it on a flash drive from the converter box then put the drive in the computer and used some editing software to remove commercials then if it has the crunch with the ad I just leave it in but mute it and dub over the audio with a clean closing theme. If it has the split screen crunch I have to crop the video where only the credits are showing even though they are slanted then I mute that and dub over it with a clean closing theme. It’s a lot of trouble if I wanted to regularly watch it but it’s fine on WHN since it’s only 7 episodes.

All 3 seasons with every episode are on CTV Throwback so I can watch it anytime except for the fact that it's a lot worse than the original which was never any good to begin with, so I just don't bother with it and move on to other better shows like "Bewitched", "I Dream Of Jeannie", "The Partridge Family", and "The Flying Nun".

CTV Throwback - What's Happening Now

CTV Throwback - Classic TV Series

I sure wish I could watch CTV throwback but I’m in the US so it doesn’t work for me.

I know how you feel. I can't get Pluto TV or Peacock or Crackle or other US only geo-restricted sites either so it's great to have a Canadian classic TV site for a change.

Now here's what I'm willing to do for you and anyone else in this group. If I can find a way to download series or episodes from that site that you might want to see, which won't be easy since many streaming sites are very tricky to download from, I can send them to you personally or display them on this page for the group to watch. That goes for everybody.

What are the call letters or number for Decade? I have Optimum in New York and don't know how to search for it.

On the Decades homepage, go to "Where To Watch" and it will give you all the cities and channel numbers for all Decades stations. For New York, NY it gives you this:

New York, NY / WNYW

Over the air --- 5.5
Comcast --- Coming Soon - please check back for channel #
FiOS --- Coming Soon - please check back for channel #

So it looks like your best bet would be channel 5.

Pluto TV fooled me. I saw they had the season 4 of ep of Three;s company on that was edited on DVD and it was 26 mins long and I was like......."They have the TAG!!!. I watched the ep and NOPE

I'll have to switch on Decades an hour earlier (7AM PT) for my daily Donna Reed fix but that's okay because afterward I can change to Beaver on Me at 8 and get two full hours of wholesome reassurance before work.

But I'm bummed about Dark Shadows moving to the wee hours as I really liked bookending the day with it at 9PM PT. ...Angelique did it!
